Tottenham: Postecoglou can take positives as Tel and Odobert impress in Forest loss
Another league loss was in stark contrast to Tottenham’s European form
Tottenham slumped to an 18th league defeat of the season, going down 2-1 at home to Nottingham Forest.
Early goals by Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood boosted Forest’s Champions League hopes, although there were reasons for encouragement for Spurs, who dominated at 2-0 down and struck late through Richarlison.
There was an element of fortune to the finish, which took a deflection off Rodrigo Bentancur to deceive Guglielmo Vicario, but Spurs’ failings were exactly the same as for Wolves’ second-minute opener in the 4-2 defeat at Molineux last weekend; they failed to adequately clear a set-piece or pick up a free man on the edge of the box.
